This place might need an upgrade. I found my room a bit worn, but it was clean and quite comfortable. There was quite much space in the bathroom.
The motel is located close to the city center, but you need to drive. It's in a peaceful area, not really much around, but for an affordable price it is a totally...

Thank you for reviewing Normandie. We are in the process of upgrading where most needed, which is a timely process. We have changed the locks to keyless entry.The bathrooms have had the shower screens replaced, bathrooms painted. We are retiling the bathrooms 5 in progress. Which will be a timely process. New carpets have gone in where most needed first...

I booked this room VERY last minute on a Friday night when I realised I was going to be too tired to make it back into Sydney (safely). The lady who took my reservation on the phone was LOVELY. Even stayed back a bit for me. I really appreciate things like that. Good service makes a huge difference when it...

Thank you for reviewing Normandie. Glad that everything was OK for you. The rooms are of different sizes and configurations. You stayed in what is our smallest room. It can accommodate two people, as you indicated it is suitable for one person. We are renovating the rooms, which is ongoing and can take some time .We have replaced older beds...

Room was really small, shower door did not close so water went everywhere. Their was a hole in the window of the bathroom so their was a cool breeze coming though the whole night. Wasn't enough parking so had to park on the street over night. Though for the room we got that the price was expensive. When we told...

The place was very clean, it could do with a coat of paint but otherwise very good. Staff are very polite and friendly. It is very close to the city centre and the beach. It is not noisy and we had a great night sleep

Very friendly staff, clean but a bit old & tired. We stayed in a family room and it felt like the single beds were put into where a lounge should have been. At least it was fairly quiet for a Saturday night.

Thank you for taking the time to review our motel. It is a small establishment . Originally there was only one bed it that room. But due to many requests for an extra bed, people having two children instead of one. We decided to add a single bed The building is an older style, and we are in the process...

Well located to city and beach/harbour. OK for a short stay - not sure about staying longer. Tired place, but rooms well cleaned/OK. I thought there might be more noise on a Saturday night, but very quiet!! Pleasant staff.

Thank you for your review. It is an old building built 1946. We are in the process of renovating an ongoing issue that may take time to resolve. Our proximity to the beach can mean extra street activity on weekends as much as we try to contain it . On your next visit ,we would be happy to assign one...

The rooms are small and it is an older place but they are clean and have everything you need. If it is just somewhere to sleep great value for money . If you intend staying in the room all day then go elsewhere. The couple running it are lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Thank you for taking the time to review our motel. Yes we have small rooms. Some are bigger than the others depending on the configeration. A person is unlikely to stay in a room all day. There are lots of things to do and see in Wollongong. Kind regards Beydon.

Great service and convenient location. Although it is a pity we did not have a chance to check the buffet breakfast.
Close to the beach.
Room is a bit small but very cozy.
There are lots of bars along the beach make sure to check those out.

Thank you for taking the time to review our motel. It is an old building, we are in the process of renovating. This is an ongoing issue that can take time to resolve. As you indicated the Family room accomodates four people but it is not an apartment. The Family room only has a Television in one of the rooms,...

I have not experienced a less comfortable night for as long as I can remember. The bed was ancient, hard and defied any semblance of give. The floor had more spring in it. The pillows were a perfect match for it - unremittingly firm. If the room had been any smaller, you would have needed to enter it sideways. The...

Thankyou for your review. As you are aware you booked the smallest and least priced room in building. There are larger rooms, as the rooms are all different configations. Sorry that you could not find where the remote for the airconditioner was, and had an uncomfortable sleep. Sorry we did not meet with your expectations, pehaps it may be best...
